FIRST DAY.-FRIDAY, 7TH MAY. The Spring Race Meeting was held at Peking on Friday and Saturday, the 7th and 8th of May. A. Cop presented by Mr. von Grot was the principal feature of the meeling, and the condi toss attached to it being carefully designed to favour natiled ponies, the entries were much beyond the ordinary. Altogether 18 griffies and Ir old ponies, Including two former favourites Ior the Shanghai Maidens, were entered. The 10-lack of some well-known stables was as marked as the extraordinary good forture of Sir Claude Macdonald's. Mr" de Nantie's, Mr. Eric's and Mr. Grot's pooles were out of form-the latter were not raced-and the Chevalier de Wonter's Fit Soot and Ventre Two of Mr. Hipplsley, Trump and Odd Trick, were adventurous beasts, whose thoughts werB elsewhere.

They do not favalve the responsibility of the diplomatist who attered them any more than that of the Government who ordere i them to be made. And It Is this vagus situation which is supposed to be the 'na plos ultra'ofthe diplomails art." The wilter quotes the case of a Russian diplomatist, who was thus described by All Pasha-Generally speaking, when somebody Hes, it is the contrary that is true, but with the the diplomatist in question, even if we accept the contrary, it is always contrary to the truth, And again: "The Russians possess everything, necessary to make diplomatists, since the essen tial traits of their character are cunning, hidden under a falsa banbom!e.

The procession will be headed by a torpedo beat with a sea ch light kindly granted by Commodore Holland, and will be under the Command of Captain Rumsey, R.N.
It will be accompanied throughout by displays of sockets and coloured lights. Filty cargo toais llominated with fish lanterns and de- corated in baimony therewith will follow the lanches. They will be towed by lluminated fuge of the P. & 0. Company and Messrs. Bolterfield & Swire,
The line of the procession will be marked by a double row of illuminated cargo boats through which the launches will proceed. Lanterns will be served out to every Chlanie vessel in the Barbour including sampans, and the Jubilee Committee have invited the foreign shipping In the Harbour to lemloste, and it is hoped that they will also show lights and fire rockets.
The Naval and Military authorities have promised their cordial cooperation, and with the community animated with the feelings of loyalty that the unique occasion of, the demonstration basso strongly brought out, the display both on. sbere and on water ought to be; worthy of the reputation of the Colony.
The style and method of the decoration of the launches is left entirely to the taste and Initia- tion of the owners. No fear need be entertained of any monotony of design as although the form of lamination will be that of lanterns, there by means of bamboos ar wire netting can be no clustered as to give every conceivable variety of design. Doubilesu, us' de only sight, each lagach will have its form deitmeated, but apple. meatury details afford ample room for diversity of taste and its expression.
The procession will commence at 9 o'clock p.m. It will be viewed to vary great advantage | from anywhere along the Praya as far as Murray Wharl. It can also be witnessed from any house commanding view of the line of Barbour, Morcorer, owners of launches who are hospitably incllaed can give theks kleads no better opportunity of witnessing it than by saking them to recompany thems in the pro- cession.

It is not recommended that during the pro- corsion launches from about the Harbour promisciously, People should be either in the procession or on board ship or on shore. . Rockets will be firing and accidents might occur. After the pre tension is over this objection ceases to have effect.

Three of the Jockeys were visitors from Tientsin, Messrs. W. A. Morling, Sommer, and Hant, and between them accounted for 13 races. Mr. Hant scored 11 wins and 1 second out of 13 mounts.
A smart ebower on Thuriday evening, the 6th, had made the course heavy, and up to 3 o'clock on Friday a spliting rain looked forcing a postponement, but a weet wlod cleared the sky and allowed the most of the races to be ran fa pleasant, Il rather boisterous, weather,
